Mightyzot enters my life....

I had set up a meeting with another guy I was talking to…and was chatting on the phone with another one every once in a while. I came home from Apple butter making days with Samantha, her dad picked her up, and I settled in to my normal Saturday night ritual of HGTV and ravioli in my pj’s. I hopped on the computer and up pops an IM from computer guy…"what’cha doin?" He asks. "Not much…watching TV," I say. "Wanna go to a movie?" He asks. I thought about it…what the heck. "Sure," I said. "Well," he says, "it’s not till 9:40, so wanna meet at Carlos O’kelly’s for dinner first?" Hmmm…"ok…I’ll see you there!" I raced upstairs and threw on some clothes, put on a little makeup, fixed my hair and out the door I went.

I got there first…I only saw one picture of what he looked like. I knew he had red hair, and wore glasses…but that was it. I waited outside. I turned around as someone said my name. It was him. We exchanged greetings and went inside. We were seated at this small table in the middle of the restaurant, but next to a half wall. I like this place…I like to get their cheese queso with tortillas. But as far as Mexican food, I’m pretty picky. We do some nervous laughing and made some silly comments about the awkward silence, then talked about the whole online dating thing…he made a comment about how according to cyber time we’d be together for like five years by now…so I made a joke about where my anniversary present is…and he of course said, well, I’m a guy…so naturally I forgot it! We laugh…wow…I like him! He’s really easy to talk to and be around…plus he’s kinda cute!

We eat dinner…can’t remember what we ordered…but we talked about my mission trip, teaching, programming, and our kids. His daughter went to a middle school that I had done a practicum at and even had the same teacher. I really like him! He's very easy to talk to and seems very respectful. He asked me when we were leaving if I wanted to ride across the street to the movie theatre with him and I said sure..."waht kind of car do you have?" "A 2006 Ford Mustang GT, white with red leather interior." What is it with men and their cars? I said, "Oh."

We arrived at the movie theatre to see the Bourne Supremacy. Sat down and I remember thinking how nice he was, he's not tried anything, not been too forward, yet I was very aware of how close were sitting in the theatre...I liked that...

The movie was funny and he didn't seem to mind that I asked some questions during the movie when I got lost. You know, I female, I often need some help with these actiony/suspense kinda movies. After the movie he drove me back to my car, I said I had a really good time, he agreed, I got out and then got in my car. He waited till I drove off then left...OH CRAP! I totally forgot to give him my number! I got home and got online to send him a message that he could call me sometime with my number, and low and behold he emailed me right back to see me tomorrow. Hmmm...I like him!!!
